Finally Did the Evo Mod
Evo mods are crazy pricey so I will have to go slow. First plan is a nice exhaust and catted test pipe, then tune. See how that goes though. I have an itch to stay stock and just get some good tires so I can run the stock class in the SCCA AutoX this summer.
Really liking some 18x10 Weds SA60M

Still slow? I was making the same power on just a BNR and stock motor. 
Slow is a relative term anyway. 
Sold the Cobalt to a local.

Congrats man....Tom text me the other day about buying your car...lol...he said you were going ms3 though.....glad you went this direction instead.....and I agree about the color.....absolutely love this shade of blue.
plus then I can beat you in the cobalt
I'll give you that if you give me a 40 roll, only fair right
I could do that but it would be cheating and I would feel guilty for that.
A video and some pictures from this morning...

Damn bro congrats. I really want an evo mod LOL.
BTW, evo x mods, not that pricey.
If I had your car, I would do this in a heartbeat.

Yeah that's a nice turbo. I gotta take it slow though. I actually plan to keep this car. What's nice is that the aftermarket is HUGE for these things. There are like 50 different exhausts available.

VIII: small turbo, no mivec, no acd, ~3050 lbs
IX: TD05hf 50 trim turbo, mivec, acd, ~3100 lbs
X: 60 trim turbo, mivec, acd AND ayc aka SAWC, ~3400 lbs
What does all of this mean?
VIII: outdated compared to the IX and X. The only VIII thats worth a damn is JDM because they had active yaw control, so it doesnt apply to usdm.
IX: with its lighter weight than the X, larger turbo, solid 4g63, and a decent 5 speed tranny the IX is a faster out of the box, and a better modder for drag and straightline. The active center differential gives the ix an edge in the corners over the viii.
X: although heavier than its predecessors, with the active yaw control and active center differential this allows the X to be a bit quicker around the bends than the ix and the viii. The X is also light years ahead of the IX and VIII when it comes to interior and comfort.
my buddy josh has the same car, same year, and same color haha if u have any questions pm me and ill give you his number. he is on an ef3 making 502 or 504whp.

as far as i know the ef4 is the best flowing stock frame. im pretty sure it outflows the fp black by a small amount. not 100% sure on that though

Im going to have to lookit up. I was looking at running an fp black setup but if the ef is better maybe ill do that instead. How is the ef in terms of reliability and quality? Comparative to the fp series?
